The Stars Lyrics - Everything Under The Sun - Jukebox The Ghost

As fireworks burst over the land 

I could've sworn I felt the influence of an unseen hand 

The ghost of someone else's dream 

A forgotten god stopping by to survey the scene 

And the lights were complicated and so we all just 

Prayed to the spirits above and below 

That the water would never reach us in time 

But I had a feeling that we'd never get to 2009 

Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah 

We didn't wanna swim but the cities were sinking 

Though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through 

The ground that was shaking, the bass was thumping 

There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim 

There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning 

And now's as good as any as a time and place to begin

On TV, they said the storms wouldn't last 

But their answers didn't correlate to the questions we'd asked 

They said, "A spark that's gone is not a spark to mourn 

You can't resuscitate a person who was never born" 

So I climbed to the tallest building in town 

To see the rain rushing in, to feel my heart breaking down 

And as the blue sheen drew nearer I saw a window to another world 

Strange fish I'd never seen and in that moment I realized 

Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming 

We didn't wanna swim but the cities were sinking 

Though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through 

The ground that was shaking, the bass was thumping 

There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim 

There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning 

Now's as good as any as a time and place to begin

I should have known this was coming, yeah 

It could not have been more obvious 

Like the flood that Noah dreamed about 

Except bigger and more ominous 

I should have seen this was unfolding, yeah 

It could not have been more obvious 

Like the flood that Noah dreamed about 

Except bigger and more ominous 

Every moment lost someone else has won 

Every time you breathe there's another gone 

Every passing second is a minute late 

Every breath can escalate a hurricane 

And do you think we'd realize just what we'd done 

Tore down the canvas that held up the sun? 

We ripped down the canvas hung up above 

But what if we were created to gaze 

What if we were created to gaze at the stars up above? 

Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah 

We didn't wanna swim but the cities were sinking 

Though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through 

The ground that was shaking, the bass was thumping
